题目内容
【题目】I'm often told how I have a dream job, that I work for a great company, getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day, and especially that I get to work from my home.
Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home. They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.
In fact, I love being able to work from home and make my own hours. I truly appreciate being able to drop what I'm doing to attend kids or go shopping, but there's a side to it we don't often talk about, the hard side. No one wants to believe people like me, working from home, have anything to complain about. Really, I'm not going to complain, but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting (远程办公) that few home-based people want to tell you, because working from home doesn't look so wonderful.
One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility(灵活性). I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done. But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to fill their days with fun items? So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype (网络电话) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible!

试题分析:很多人都希望在家里上班,作者在文章中阐述了在家里工作也有很多不利之处。
【1】C 推理判断题。根据最后四句But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to fill their days with fun items? ....... So it's not so easy to be flexible!可知作者主要提及了在家里上班的一些不利的方面。故C项正确。
【2】D 根据文章最后三句So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype (网络电话) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible!可知当晚上丈夫孩子在看电视的时候,我还要工作,我还要经常守着网络电话,以防有人找我。实际上在家里上班并不是那么的灵活方便。故D项正确。
【3】A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done.可知作者也认为只要把自己的工作做完了,就可以自由去做自己想做的事情了。故A项正确。
【4】B 推理判断题。很多人都喜欢在家里工作,因为这样就不需要在上班的路上耽误很多时间了。作者在文章中阐述了在家里工作也有很多不利之处,所以本文是写给办公室工作人员的,因为只有办公室工作人员才希望在家里工作。与找工作的人,研究人员无关。故B正确。
